Fall and Winter in the Mountains

We tried to capture this photo the night before but it didn't work. So Sharon was back with it in the morning and finally got the right picture. Keeping up with your cup or glass, helps conserve energy. Not as many dishes are washed and less water is used in the clean up. Breakfast is [...]
